Trump is the “last great orange hope” for many frustrated, fearful and feed up Americans. He is a demi-god to MAGA followers and the media cannot get enough of him The MAGA folders and there are a lot of them, enough to put Trump as the favourite for POTUS this November are a significant political force and if Trump doesn’t win, there will be major civil unrest. Trump’s base is allied with the UCP and Canadian trucker protest, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, the National Front in Europe and Putin.
Trump has been able to obscure judgements that went against him him and indefinitely defer settlements that he has been ordered to pay, as he knows how to work the rigged system. Trump is able to say say “fuck you” to legal decisions that he doesn’t like and will likely not pay a cent in these civil suits.
Trump’s political career is an ongoing populist reality show.
